2006/12/7, billtouch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <billtouch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: Hi Bill, please answer on the list :) > I built the newest glib (2.12.4) from the source (./configure; make ) then went to su and did make install from the same directory. It when to the default location whereever that is. I tend to stay away from hard coded paths on installs. > [long snip] so I presume you did install it in /usr/local/ > How does the configure script figure out what glib version I am running? Does it look into the rpm dartabase? If so, then how do I get it to understannd that I installed from source? export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib (or equivalent) export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig (or equivalent) should be enough to tell to the configure script where the newest glib is. probably not the best way to go but... I understood from your email that you need a quick and dirty way.... cheers -- Gian Mario Tagliaretti http://www.parafernalia.org/pygtk/ _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
